I am happy to be part of it.Lauding the initiative by Katha Utsav, Anil Pandey, Director, India For Children said, “India is a land that brims with stories and tales that are classic and timeless. However, how many young people today are aware about Prem Chand or Fanishwar Das Renu, whose stories hold the same essence in every century and age? The youth today is served readymade digital text which is unfortunately often very superficial and crass. To ensure that they are not further alienated from our rich heritage, it is important that we reintroduce them to these dusted pages of heritage. The Katha Utsav is a great initiative that will ensure that our literature doesn’t get forgotten in this fast-paced hollow world.”Samay Yaan's Katha Utsav owes its success not only to the remarkable participants but also to the generous support of the Azadi ka Amrit Mahotsav, Ministry of Culture.
